Taylor Swift Pictures in US Elle Magazine

Taylor Swift posed in a printed Louis Vuitton dress to cover the upcoming issue of US Elle magazine. She's been busy prepping for her upcoming tour and most recently made headlines for slamming ex Harry Styles during her Grammy performance last night. Inside the issue, Taylor addressed her insecurities, ex-boyfriends, and the speculation surrounding her songwriting. She also got candid about how she handles being the center of a constant swirl of rumours. Here are highlights from Taylor Swift in Elle:

• On her insecurity: "Middle school was what programmed me to be semi-insecure, like, all of the time. I didn't fit in . . . I'd stand on the outside of the circle but I was never really in. That's when I started to realise there's this thing called rejection."
• On ex-boyfriends: "I don't think I've ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend. Ever. I'm not a yeller. I'm not a fit thrower. If something is done, it's done."
• On speculation surrounding her songs and famous exes: "To me it's just writing songs the way I always have. It's me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn't understand, writing a song, and understanding it better. If people want to dissect the lyrics, that's their right, but it's all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It's just something I do to feel better."
